Maxxis Ue-168
I've been interested in the Maxxis UE-168 as a LT replacement for the 14" ST tires that came with my trailer. The original tires were Trail America ST 205/75R14. After one year I upgraded to the Maxxis M8008 ST 215/75R14. Come next Spring the tires are reaching the three-years-from-manufacture date, and it will be time to replace (being I am very conservative about tire risk).
I wrote to Maxxis USA and inquired about the use of their UE-168 tire for my intended usage. They replied that it was inappropriate to use any LT tire, including their UE-168, for use on a trailer.
However, in bouncing around on the internet, I discovered that Maxxis in the United Kingdom actually recommends the UE-168 for trailer use. Link: http://www.maxxis.co.uk/tyres/trailer
Should I ignore Maxxis USA and go ahead with the UE-168?
